Hello,

I am seeking an LLMD in the Southern NJ / Philadelphia, PA area for testing/diagnosis/treatment of Lyme Disease. I strongly suspect that i have had it for a few years. I have only once had a basic test done (not sure what kind) years ago by my primary physician which came back negative. no further tests were ordered and my doc doesn't seem to want to pursue any additional testing. i know it is hard to diagnose so i gave up hope & did not pursue testing but lately i am getting scared as my symptoms seem to get worse. If anyone can help me find a good doc i'd greatly appreciate it...

Welcome to Lymenet! PM sent for PA.

You need to be evaluated and treated by a Lyme-literate doctor (LLMD). Non LLMDs have no clue about this horrible disease or its complex treatment!

Unfortunately, LLMDs are far and few between. You need to go where they are.

Also, most LLMDs do not take insurance due to the politics surrounding this disease. Read poster TF's explanation about this:

"Why Lyme Doctors Don't Take Insurance"

Check the online state Lyme groups at:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/statenamelyme

Maybe they can help.

Some more resources (including Support Group info):
www.lyme-aware.org/pennsylvania.html
www.lymepa.org

The top LLMD, Dr.H, has written a new book entitled, "Why Can't I Get Better?". It is an excellent source of information.

Also read "Cure Unknown" by Pamela Weintraub. Check your local library or buy it used on Amazon.

Btw - please break up your posts into 2-3 sentence paragraphs, as there are people on Lymenet who cannot read large blocks of text due to neurological problems from Lyme. Thanks.
